THE VALUE OF VARIETY

When it comes to creating a successful lighting plan, many consumers make the mistake of not realizing the importance of layering with a variety of different light fixtures. Homeowners often rely on one or two lighting sources to cover the gamut of their house’s lighting needs, only to discover that their lighting scheme is not comprehensive enough to cover all of their needs. Across the lighting industry, many professionals have adopted the standard of having three different types of illumination for the home. Each type serves a very specific purpose and can have a major impact on the quality and comprehensivity of a room.

AMBIENT LIGHTING

Also known as general lighting, ambient illumination provides the general light needed to fill a room. Ambient lighting is used to create an even illumination, casting light over every area of the room for any range of general uses. This type of lighting is often seen as the building block for layering your lighting scheme, as these fixtures are the first ones to come on when someone enters a room for general safety purposes. Anytime you flip a switch at the entrance of a space, the chances are high that you’re turning on an ambient lighting fixture. There are many fixtures that can be used to illuminate the area, including:

  • Chandeliers
  • Wall-mounted fixtures such as sconces
  • Recessed lighting
  • Track lighting
  • Flush-mount fixtures
  • Lamps
  • Much more!

Ambient lighting sets the tone for your room, covering it in light to allow inhabitants to see the room in addition to safely walking through it. Without quality general lighting, your lighting plan may fail to produce the results you want!
